The father of five’s kidneys started shutting down after gallbladder surgery in 2016. Doctors had a grim outlook for the pastor. Houze wouldn’t live past five years without a transplant, but the list for organ donation was about seven years, according to “Good Morning America.”

Then, on Feb. 1, his adopted daughter, McKnight, was tested and they were a match.

“I never thought I would be a match because I was adopted,” McKnight told “Good Morning America.” “I got the call at work and I wanted him to be the first person that knew. I called and I said, ‘Daddy, I have to tell you something. I’m a match.’”

The father and daughter hope to undergo surgery shortly, GMA reported.
